Had CX5 2.0 family car year 2020, so accustomed to Mazda engine, GB feedback from the 6 gear auto etc. For me it ok-ok at city drive, but heading Karak highway, it rev like mad cz from SUV size body, 2.0 power just nothing to shine about hence need to constantly hitting 5k rpm above.

Lack of Valve lift tech from the engine (they compensate that with higher compression) wont make it different engine sound hitting higher rpm like other car with it. So from me owning another car with 2.4L NA and 1.8T, i summarize the CX5 2.0 as underpower.

Not sure why 1.5L from Sedan will give a different feedback. If u buy the car, on any issues, best to send to Glenmarie Mazda Body and paint SC, claimed the car's steering clock spring and rear both tyre bearing. Most owner will sure kene the lower arm nyek2 sound

I think their target market for this model is single driver who wanted stylish car, not family man.

the lower arm sound u mentioned , after claim then fixed? what's the issue u know ?

Get a 2.2D or 2.5T baru ngam!

When I wrote no problem going up gh, I wascomparing to typical 1.5/1.6L jepunis car. The 6AT car performed better than a lighter jepunis 1.6L 5MT car or the wira 1.5M due to close gear ratios of 6AT.

If course, it was all measured using butt dyno.

wira punya old 4G15 only produce 90~92 hp while newer 1.5 engine like in vios/city/mazda all produce in the region of 105~115 hp

Change that parts under warranty at SC, iirc keep on happening after some interval, maybe once a year need to send for claim for the past 5 years

My previous 1.6A 6AT conti only produced 102hp iirc, 14+Nm or torque, but with kerb weight of 13++kg. This Mazda 3 has higher hp and torque with equal kerb weight, so it should be alright.

It won't win any drag race but it's pretty sufficient for my daily driving including highway runs. After all, my butt dyno has not been spoiled by powerful cars.

If I buy this car, it will likely be my last ICE car, so its longevity and fun factor have to be high. Admittedly, more power would be nice to fully enjoy the ride/handling but 2.0L Mazda 3 is way overpriced imo. So gotta compromise.

Ayam not ruling out Civic 1.5T yet.

Got any weird noise? Specifically during or after heavy rain n passing humps

CX-5 most common issues is the lower arm bush that will happen every few years...I sudah replace like twice in 7 years time.

Another one is the side mirror..always got 1 side cannot fold de.

Other than that it's a very solid car. Don't know about other Mazda models.

the lower arm bush what issue, crack / noise? only happens during rain or everytime
